Article Summary

Which stream URL(s) to submit for syndication on other platform.

Our stream services provide several formats and quality levels. When selecting one we always recommend:

  • Use the "Medium" quality level, unless you think most of your target audience would pefer a "Low" or "High" quality stream.
  • If the platform requires an Icecast stream, use the AAC version of the Icecast stream, this can provide better quality.
  • Use HTTPS endpoints whenever possible, but all streams are still available via plain HTTP also.

Examples
